SPSS Exercises

SPSS:

Repeat the crosstabulation from one of your hypotheses in Chapter 2 SPSS exercises. However, this time we are going to “filter” our cases by sex and first look specifically at this association among men. To do this:

At the top ribbon, select DATA > SELECT CASES

Click the “If” button

Select the RA1PRSEX variable in the left box, and then click the transfer arrow button to move it to the right box. Click the "=" button and then click the "1" button to select only the male participants

Click on Analyze/Descriptive Statistics/Crosstabs

Highlight RA1SR1 and click on the arrow so that it moves into the Rows box; highlight your independent variable and click on the arrow to move it into the Columns box.

Click on Cells, click off Counts-Observed, and click on Percentages-Column.

Click Continue and then OK.

Repeat the steps above but this time filter for female (RA1PRSEX > = > 2)

Compare the results from Questions 1 and 2. How did the findings differ depending on the sex of participants, if at all?

Repeat the crosstabulation from one of your hypotheses in Chapter 2 SPSS exercises. However, this time we are going to “filter” our cases by sex and first look specifically at this association among men. To do this, type RA1PRSEX(1) into the box labeled “selection filter(s).”

At the top of the page, click on Analysis > Comparison of means.

Type RA1SR1 into the dependent variable box, and the name of the independent variables (one for each of your hypotheses) you are using into the box labeled “row”

Under CHART OPTIONS, select “no chart” and check the show means box.

Click “run the table.”

Now, we are going to look at this association among women. Repeat the steps above but type RA1PRSEX(2) into the box labeled “selection filter(s).”

Compare the results from Questions 1 and 2. How did the findings differ depending on the sex of participants, if at all?
